Talley said the Criminal Justice Training and Standards Commission is conducting a preliminary review that she said could lead to an investigation.

Deputy Chief Wade Wood said the police department is working with the state agency with their review.

The review started the day after police briefed District Attorney Ron Moore on traffic citations issued in the last year based on speed measured by radar guns with out-of-date certifications. Moore dismissed hundreds of tickets because of the problems.

Forty-four officers have signed a petition saying they have no confidence in department leaders.
